Angels fear to TREAD !

The Times: Reports that former PM Tony Blair has gone one the left wing CNN and the equally left wing show the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Of course the issue was Iraq, the left wing in the United States will never accept that the War with Iraq was the right thing, but it is nice to see that Blair is showing the Churchill spirit by taking on those that oppose him, just why didn't he sack Gordon Brown when he had the chance, he okay out of the country we still have Brown.

Palin called DISABLED

Fox News: Reports that Democratic Representative Charles Rangel has called Governor Sarah Palin Disabled. This is a new low by Democrats, they don't care now how low they have to fight, winning at any cost has become their motto.

A Mess!

The New York Times: Report how both the Republicans and Democrats are keen to avoid the blame for the economic mess. It has to be serious for both sides know that if they don't stand together they will sink on the good ship US Economy. The Congress has to cut pork spending on their favourite issues, the Republicans have to regulate the market like President Teddy Roosevelt. This could be the time for the sides to come together for the benefit of the country.

700 BILLION request by BUSH

The New York Times: Reports on the amount of money the Bush Administration is requesting to bail out the American economy and major companies. This shows that over the years that the government has not kept an eye on the Wall Street, this is something out of that great move Wall Street, the richer get richer and the Middle and Working class get taken for a ride and their money. The Government in the West have to keep an eye on the Financial Markets, the Western Economy cant not be allowed to be flushed down the toilet because a major company or companies take on bad debt as a way to make money in the long term, Bush has learned the lesson of Hoover, Hoover did not act, he was a Republican and he lost to FDR, the next Republican President was Eisenhower.

Weekend Polls

Well folks it has not been a boring few days on the economic front, it seems we avoided the bullet of another Great Depression, the US Government is taking on the debt of the United States, President Hoover did not act and thus we had the Great Depression and Bush has gone to other extreme, he has bailed out Major Companies with bad debt. Of the two options I would support the Bush Plan, but the question has to be asked who is going to pay for this, the answer has to be the tax payer. Lets look at the Polls Folks.





Gallup
: Reports that Senator Obama has a five percent lead over McCain. The Poll found the following, Obama 49% - McCain 44%. The Western Economy faced going in to the toilet and Obama is only five points ahead, this should worry the Obama Camp, Obama should with kind of news be in double digit lead, and he is still under 50%. If the Economic Plan by the Bush Administration works, I think McCain could pull off a victory in November.





Rasmussen
: This poll finds a closer race, in essence a tie, the poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 47%. The Obama Camp needs to have a sharper message on the Economy, should get in some of the Clinton old hands of the 1992 Campaign. In the West Wing Season 7, the Republican Candidate had to cope with a Nuclear Accident, this Economic threat is its equal, McCain has to show that he understand the Middle Class, he has to become their Reagan, he cant say that the economy is fine, it looks like something Paris Hilton would say because she is rich. The McCain Camp has to show his maverick streak, be firm with Wall Street, need better government control of the money markets.



Hoteline/FDTracking: This also shows a close race between Obama and McCain, the poll finds the following, Obama 45% - McCain 44%. If Obama cant get over 50% by Election Day it can be postulated that McCain will win, the issue that no one wants to discuss is race, are the voters in the United States willing to elect the first African - American to the Presidency, Obama is Liberal that is enough of an issue but his race has not an legitimate point not to vote for him, Obama could be the next JFK or Reagan, but he has to stand up to his Party and show that he will not be pushed around by the Liberal Left of the Democratic Party.



Rights for Agency Workers!

Over the past few weeks I have worked for Employment Agency, they sent me to a major company in the area, as the company needed workers, I did not get an Interview, just start the following day. Thus from the 21/8/08 to 19/9/08 I worked for this major Company, not taking a day off due to illness or holiday. I discovered that the Company had plans to move me to a Call Centre environment, as I have a speech Impediment I informed them of this fact, on Friday after work I was informed that I was let go, one can postulate after that all hard work one would have been tested one one's phone skills, but no, just the boot, but this was not surprising. after only a week and two days without no training after that, in less I asked I was placed on the work, the Company is in the profit Industry. I wonder if their clients can appreciate the lack of training by this major company, its outlets are in bookies, pubs, Casinos all over the world. One would think that the Company would have the decency to inform people if they are being let go, but there is something rotten, a company that does not inspire loyalty, has a high burn rate for those that work for it, under a year seems to be the duration of employment. I wish the company would have inspired me to but no, just shows that a company, will use and abuse its employers does not deserve the trust or loyalty of those it employs, it can not be called a gentleman but a cad, yes Sir a Cad, the Gipper inspired his supporters, this company would make one take the pledge in its business.


I call on the government to take action as to protect Agency workers, if you are disabled and a company takes you on, it should at least try to find other work for you that does not involve you having to leave the company, what shame for a Labour Government and the Welsh Assembly.
